So the consensus is... an electronic logbook printed in a nice bound format is fine going forward, and doesn't need to be backed up by a hand written log???
What I'd like to do is dispense with handwritten altogether and pick up from when I upgraded and go exclusively electronic.
Anybody see anything worrisome with that?
Thanks

Hi guys, I've been to several interviews with my electronic logbook printed out and have been successful. I would recommend not wasting too much money. I went to FedEx Office with a thumb drive and the PDF on it and they showed me 3 or 4 binder and I picked one and came back 2 hours later to a very nice bound logbook. I recommend a cover page with grand totals. Just an FYI, I had a friend interview at Great Lakes not too long ago with an electronic log and they wanted him to bring his originals to class so they could verify signatures and endorsements. I've never heard of such a thing at any other airline, only positive reviews on electronic logs. Just an FYI.

I brought an electronic logbook to my Delta interview, and explained to them it was my way of putting my civilian and military time together in one place (there are fundamental differences between the way these two kinds of time are logged). I brought my original paper logbooks from my bug smasher days in case they asked to see it. They did.... and told me they wanted to see original endorsements, sign-offs, and were specifically looking for any "unsat" checkrides.

No, I don't think so. Delta asked me to bring copies of all my 121 checks "if available", so I got my company to send me copies of all my sim and line checks. They'll get the same forms on the PRIA check, so just answer the question honestly if (when) they ask you if you failed a ride. Not a big deal if you disclosed it on the application and they hire you anyway; a very big deal when they find it on the PRIA check and it's not reflected on the application.
